  1. Guys, this isn't goint to go anywhere. The 70 year old toddler, unregistered sex offender, orange fucksmear, is our goddamned president. The white suppremacist, cousin fuckers are now empowered enough to come out from under their white sheets and hoods, and are having a field day terrorising Muslims, LGBT, blacks, and Hispanics. 

    And that skeleton cunt Kelleanne Conway has the fucking audacity to say that Obama and Hillary need to denounce the riots? The protests for the most part have been peaceful. I'm hurting, and so embarrassed by our country.

  2. I like Raven in movies, but her overacting in TSR used to annoy the living fuck out of me. I'm also glad we wont hear her opinions on The View anymore. However, I liked how she gave shoutouts to people.behind the scenes. Sometimes she can be obnoxious and other times she does humble so well. It's as if Raven still needs to find herself. Until she does, she needs to stay the fuck away from talk shows.

  3. Did you know there are certain "cancers" that doctors will treat even if they don't have solid proof it exist? For example, it can look like cancer but when you biopsy it - it returns not cancerous, but because it so strongly LOOKS like cancer & because it fits the "standard" of similar cancers they will treat it as cancer despite having physical conclusive results saying its cancer. Not considering that the individual could have something completely opposite of anything they've ever encountered, then medical mystery happens & there's no way to explain their opinions or studying. This is not a scenario drawn up from nowhere this is my direct & very recent experience.

     

    I use this example to say this, even with the most advanced science humans are doing their CONCEIVABLE best to explain what is put in front of them. The thing about it is, it is put in front of them so they in REACTION work backwards to explain what has already been done. Then they draw & act off their best conclusion. Proof does not always determine the intricacy of how or where? IMO, needing proof to believe is like limited power. It robs you & the world of being able to show you something unbelievable. Of the billions of people on the earth every experience & interaction cannot be proven, or fit under a definitive mold of a groups explanation. Some things can and some things can't. Lastly, when it comes to measurement...humans cannot measure infinite - which means in all logic their measurement is limited. There will always be an "X" variable the "hidden" number - or like in scientific equations, the presumed figure. All of which - is blank space for faith. 

    That is still done based on research, and evidence based facts.

  4. Ok so you do understand there is much that can't be understood or fully explained. I'm not talking coincidence. I think it's disheartening to call something a coincidence when it is so specifically in line, or when you have dreamed...envisioned, felt it in your intuition. That discredits your ability to be metaphysically connected. Nonetheless, you saying you understand somethings can't be explained is enough. 

    In order for me to BELIEVE that it's nothing more than pure coincidence I require proof. Not that I don't find it fascinating, but as Game said. Not having proof that God dosen'texist is equivalent to not having proof the toothfairy exists. That's just my personal take on things.

  5. What is intuition? Do you believe it exist?

    I know that there is instinct, and there is coincidence. Sometimes we tend to focus on coincidences and confuse them for intuition. I also accept thst there are thing which we cannot explain, and maybe, we never will. The fact that we are still learning, and searching is part of the thrill.

  6. My thing is if proof is what makes it solid for you, what makes you seek proof? Proof tends to come after faith or belief. Including so called scientific proof it's a belief that makes them pursue the proof. Also, all these explanations...in my opinion are only the after effect of a process. What created atoms? What makes the universe work the way it does? To me with all the infinite possibilities of things...so much could be in so many different ways, there has to be more to the story. God is an ambiguous word. So most ppl argue the word without understanding the concept. Most ppl are just hung up on the word, & so they discredit it & don't try to pursue anything deeper. Also, to me it's not the arrogance of believing that makes purpose real...it's the humility of knowing I could have been anywhere in the world but I happen to meet this person & experience this particular thing, & get this answer I have been wondering. All these dots connect in such an intricate world & way.  

    Scientist "prove" something then find out their wrong, but yet ppl still believe in them. Science has also proclaimed to prove things based on their pursuit of a certain type of society. They are also theoretical ppl. It just brings me back to intuition, or people who experience dreams that come true...all of that is much deeper than an easy scientific explanation. 

    Also we TRUST scientists, it has nothing to do with beliefs. When scientists discover they are wrong, they admit it, and they change their focus, and atrempt to make more discoveries. Beliefs are irrelevant.

    Yes, that's why I tell believers to define God. Since is such an ambiguous word, and it dosen't answer anything. Then I ask "which God?" Depending on their beliefs, some say they believe in the god of the bible, others say, they are spiritual and the bible was written by man, others take the bible literally (but they ignore what's inconvenient for them), others say they don't take it literally. I say, it's all horseshit, and I'm only interested in what matters to me, hope to contribute to society, and that my offspring do as well. There is no benefit from believing in some divine spirit, in which we just believe in.

    Proof simply answers our questions, and provides us with theories based on those proofs. We have tried to find proof of this intelligent designer. I'm willing to change my stance, or ACCEPT it if we have concrete proof. Otherwise, it's just feel good, self righteous, baloney. People also use religion to justify something that may socially be deemed fucked up. The bible was used against freeing slaves and inter-racial marriage, and today, it is still used to marginalize homosexuals.

  9. my issue here is if we forego believing in a higher power, then there is no fate, no destiny, no order, we are all just a bunch of random particles bumping into each other in a vast universe that serves no purpose. It all seems really lazy, like existence came from something, I'm willing to admit it probably wasnt some guy sitting on a marble throne in the clouds but still ...nothing? All that exists in the known universe and the massive amounts of energy to create came from nothing ?

    In my case I am willing to accept that we are insignificant particles. The fact that we are intelligent beings and are able to understand things give us this arrogsnce that there must be purpose. There is no proof of this, therefore, I accept it for what it is.

  10. No disrespect, so you don't believe in microwaves, wifi, brain waves, intuition, thoughts? Those are all things you cannot see...I've always heard ppl say they believe in what they can see but you can cut open a brain and never see a thought.  You can't see wifi but it works. So many things can't be seen or "proven" but they exist.  Also, most of what we call reality is a quilt of other people's made up, once invisible thoughts. From you clothes to your house to your job to your car. None of those things existed at one point in time. We live in a big quilt of ideas. So technically what we believe does influence reality or we wouldn't have inventions. Definitely not trying to sway anything but I always find that interesting. 

    Microwaves, brainwaves, air, gravity, atoms are all EMPIRICALLY, SCIENTIFICALLY, and TANGIBLY proven. They also exist whethet we believe in them or not. God is not proven by anything, other than accounts, of accounts, of accounts of stories in books. You are indoctrinated into believing those things based on where you live; or what your parents believe. If you are in the Middle East, you are more likely to believe in the God of the Quran, in the U.S. You are more likely to believe in the God of the bible, in Asia, Buddha, etc..

    Faith is just faith, and it's a belief. Science is exact, and only changes when we have concrete evidence. It has made us progress. Many religions have made us regress due to antiquated, and oppressive superstitions.

  11. now that I've swept the dirt away for a minute :rolleyes:  back to the thread......what do you believe in? Karma? if we don't believe in God nor prayer then what do you believe?

    I beieve i what is proven, what I can see what I can feel, and nothing else. I also believe that what we believe in, is totally irrelevant to reality.

  12. Goddamnit people. What the fuck do you guys think? You own Janet? Was she supposed to show you her belly just to prove she's pregnant? It's one thing to be pissed off at her because of the timing of it all, but to think that Janet is lying about her pregnancy is a bit extrememe of a reach. She's fucking pregnant because she said so. Now cut it the fuck out!!!!
